Learning affiliate marketing is a decision that will take you to an unfamiliar place. It is a new adventure for you. There will be new challenges. There will be questions. There will be questions you never imagined that you would ask. It is important to get good advice.
Your success is dependent upon the advice you receive and who your advisers are. Not having advisers will doom your decision to become and affiliate marketer. Great advisers can help make you a success. One piece of advise is to get good training. Teachers are a type adviser. If you can find a live teacher, the better. This way you can ask questions.
An alternative to finding a live teacher, is to find good training courses. The way to find good training courses is to search another source for advice: Internet forums. There are many affiliate marketing forums. Use a search engine to locate them. Spend some time visiting the forums. Read the threads and get feel if they are a community where you can get help. Read the advice given and see if it makes sense to you. Try to determine if there are successful Internet marketers who frequent the board.
From these forums, you can get a feedback and recommendations for training courses. You may also be able to strike up a conversation with an expert and get advise that way. It is also possible to find "coaches" to help you out. The challenge is to find a coach who is also a successful affiliate marketer. Again, forums can help here. Coaches do not necessarily only need to be Internet marketers.
Coaches who understand business can also be beneficial. You can find these through the Small Business Administration. S.C.O.R.E. is the program offered by the SBA to help small business owners. It is easy to believe that you can go forward without having advisers in place. It is easy to believe that you do not need any. Or, you believe that you cannot find them so you do not even try. Successful people surround themselves with advisers.
Finding an adviser for affiliate marketing may be difficult to find locally. You might try asking through Craig's List. Advisers can also be found online. Unfortunately, many of them can only be reached through private forums for a fee. Fortunately, some of good ones are modestly priced.
Getting advice is the third pillar of a successful decision. The other three pillars are time, money and support.
